The Wedding Quilt

Here is a picture of the quilt I made for Amy and Gavin for their wedding. They wanted a quilt to use on the lounge rather than just something decorative (which is what I tend to make!) and in blues and browns. I wasn't sure if they would like it but they did. I wanted to add some red but restrained myself. I used a pattern from a book called "Successful Scrap Quilts" by Margaret Rolfe and Judy Turner. Has some great scrap quilts in it using rectangles.

I was able to embroider on the label. Here it is. I used one of the blocks from Lynette Anderson's BOM My Home or yours, that I am working on. I change the bride's dress so it looked more like Amy's and took the top hat off the groom.

After hunting everywhere unsuccessfully for the perfect card, I ended up stitching one.
